Baked Penne alla Boscaiola with Truffles

Oh you’re gonna LOVE this one! It’s winter comfort food deluxe!

That we are serious pasta lovers might not come as a surprise with one of us being Italian and the other being a huge Italian food fan. But there’s a difference between pasta and pasta. Pasta can often be a bit boring and same-same, not to mention over-cooked. How many times have I ordered a pasta outside of Italy and been served a mushy and rubbery pasta-look-alike? Yeah, I think you get my point – the pasta better be al dente or I’ll pass. 🙂

Here in Ibiza we have found a great gluten-free pasta made of brown rice that we just love. Before we’ve always used pasta made of corn but this one is even better and easier to make al dente. What’s you’re favorite gluten-free pasta made of? We’d love to hear from you in the comments!

If you’re a pasta lover just like us please just get in the kitchen and whip this one up! It’s so creamy and fulfilling and perfect for the holidays coming up. Who knew a plant-based and gluten-free pasta could be so delicious!?!

In case you don’t have any truffles, truffle paste or truffle oil (or you simply don’t like truffles) this recipe is great even without.
